have decided that a duel Is neCeSodIy'
Boulanger's seconds published a re-
port of what they say transpired at the
| conference between them and the sec
onds Of Ferry. The report is in sub
| stance as follows: General Boulanger
desired are paration proportionedtothe
gravity of Ferry's a%ffront. On this ac-
| count he proposed that the combat
| ants exchange shots till there was n
hit. The distance was to be left to the
seconds of Ferry. These conditions be-
ing accepted, Boulanger's seconds
agreed to be content with an exchange
of shots between the principals at 70
PAGES without any word Of command.
| Considering this proposal to embody
| the extreme limit of General Boulan-
gers informal instructions, his sec
onds did not fell authorized to make
any further proposition. Ferry's sec
onds would only accept a duel at 70
PAGES with a single exchange OF shots,
| the fire to be opened at a word OF COM
| mand. Thereupon as the offended
party has the right to dictate the con-
| ditions of a duel without being obliged
to submit to terms dictated by his adj
| versary's seconds, Boulanger's seconds
| withdrew from the affair.
Ferry's seconds confirm the state
ment hat they were unable to come
to an agreement respecting the condi-
tons Of the duel between their princi-
| pal and General Boulanger. They ex-
| plain that they proposed the same
conditions as those under which Gen
eral Boulanger fought with Baron Lac
renty, and that Boulanger's seconds re-
fused to accept such conditions, claim
ing that they had a right to settle the
| details of the affair. M. Ferry's sec
| onds declined to admit the claim of
the offended party to settle the condi-
tons.
